Day 3 Springdale to Silina Kansas

We began our day in Springdale, Arkansas.  My grandmother actually lived in Springdale when she was a young woman, and this is where her mother died. We have some third and fourth cousins who live in Springdale and the surrounding area, but we didn't have time to meet with them. I wish I had planned some extra time into our schedule, but it wasn't possible. We did make it over to my great-grandmother's grave despite the crazy weather we had in the morning. When we first walked out of the hotel, the heavens opened, the sky turned black, and it rained for a good, solid 30 minutes. We were about to abandon our plan to see her grave, but as we drove there, the clouds disappeared, and the sun came out. She wanted us to visit. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find her grave, but I am sure we walked past it.  So many of the gravestones were worn, and it was hard to tell who was who.
